Uma regata internacional de veleiros vai levar a Lisboa embarcações
de toda a Europa que poderão ser visitadas gratuitamente entre
quinta-feira e domingo no Cais de Santa Apolónia, anunciou esta
segunda-feira a organização portuguesa do evento.
Os veleiros
portugueses Sagres, Santa Maria Manuela e Creoula e o inglês Lord
Nelson serão algumas das embarcações que estarão abertas ao público
entre as 10 horas e as 19 entre os dias 19 e 22.
As
embarcações participam nas The Tall Ships Races, regatas organizadas
desde 1956 pela Sail Training International, que exige que pelo menos
metade da tripulação seja jovem e que a bordo dos veleiros se fale
várias línguas.
Na edição deste ano irão atracar em Lisboa 48
grandes veleiros, oriundos de 16 países da Europa, trazendo a bordo mais
de 3 mil tripulantes.
Portugal vai estar representado por
seis veleiros e por uma tripulação composta por 220 jovens que irá,
nalguns casos, ter a primeira experiência de mar.
"Este será
um momento para aproximar os portugueses do desporto náutico e dar-lhes a
conhecer como são os barcos por dentro e como funcionam", referiu aos
jornalistas o presidente da Associação Portuguesa de Treino de Vela
(Aporvela), António Lobato, entidade responsável pela organização da
regata no território nacional.
A organização estima que
durante os quatro dias de escala dos veleiros mais de um milhão de
visitantes percorrerão o recinto de animação em Santa Apolónia.
Além
das visitas aos grandes veleiros, os visitantes poderão assistir a
concertos e espetáculos, assim como participar em conferências e
workshops sobre o mar e sobre a cidade de Lisboa, todos com entrada
livre.
Os pontos altos desta passagem dos veleiros por Lisboa
ocorrem na sexta-feira, com um desfile das tripulações na Rua Augusta, e
no domingo, com um desfile náutico no rio Tejo, entre Alcântara e
Belém.
No dia 22, os veleiros içam as velas e navegam rumo a
Cádis (Espanha), passando depois pela Corunha (Espanha) e, por fim,
Dublin (Irlanda).
A última vez que Lisboa fez parte desta
regata foi em 2006, ano em que recebeu 86 grandes veleiros e 6.237
tripulantes de 49 países. Entre eles, 4 mil eram jovens com menos de 26
anos.
